Abstract:		"The synthesis of new acetylenic and cyclopropane fatty acids, as potential inhibitors of the beta-oxidation step in the proposed biosynthesis of the sex pheromone of the Egyptian armyworm Spodoptera littoralis, is reported. The biological activity of the compounds has been determined by in vitro and in vivo bioassays, and among all the compounds tested, dichlorocyclopropane acid has shown the highest inhibition activity displayed so far"
